Groundhog Day 2005 in Punxsutawney.
Groundhog Day is a traditional festival celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2. It is a cross-quarter day, midway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.
In traditional weather lore, if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If the groundhog sees its shadow because the weather is bright and clear, it will be frightened and run back into its hole, and the winter will continue for six more weeks.
Lets all hope that darn furry critter DOES NOT see his shadow!!
Happy Groundhog Day!!

You see, the thing about Texas is that we complain about the morbidly hot weather all year long and then when winter hits (what little we get here anyway) we can't wait until the heat comes back. Good for that little groundhog for making all us Texans happy!
